Successful Formula #2 - counting the rows where the Count Children column has a value of 0. (Count Children is a helper column that has a formula of =COUNT(CHILDREN()) that I'm using here to filter only the terminal tasks, i.e. the ones that have no children of their own.)
Now I want to combine these two to count all the terminal descendants of Row 1 where the Simplified Status is "Not Started" so I can count all Phase 1 tasks that haven't been started yet for Roll Up reporting. I basically want to meet the criteria of Formula 1 AND Formula 2. However, combining them keeps throwing an #INCORRECT ARGUMENT SET error:
Context: I'm trying to get roll up reporting charts for all Phase 1 tasks that are in a given status. This formula is going into a Sheet Summary field. I'm trying to get terminal children for clean numbers. Using the DESCENDANTS function alone means that parents get counted as well, inflating my numbers for actual tasks.
It is because your ranges are not the same. In one range you are pulling DESCENDANTS but in the other range you are pulling the entire column. Try changing the reference to the Count Children column to be DESCENDANTS([Count Children]1) so that it matches the other range.
I'm trying include a date range with counting the number of applicants within various depts, in certain date ranges, but it's saying incorrect argument set. =COUNTIFS(DISTINCT([Name of Requestor]:[Name of Requestor], [Submission Date]:[Submission Date], AND(@cell > DATE (2023, 9, 30), @cell
If you believe that you are a Descendant of the enslaved people owned by the Maryland Province, please contact desce...@georgetown.edu as early as possible in the admissions cycle. If it is determined that you are a Descendant, a staff member will contact the Admissions Office to update your application with that information.
I can't publish the descendants first as the parent needs to be published, if I schedule the parent then the descendants aren't published and there is no option I can see on the scheduling screen to include descendants.
In 1838, 272 enslaved men, women and children were sold by the Jesuits from plantations in Maryland to plantation owners in Louisiana. Some died in slavery; others lived to see freedom. All bore the torment of racism that plagues our nation to this day.
The ancestors left a legacy of 10,000 descendants, and those still living have joined hands with the Society of Jesus to create an example of racial healing in America. Through that example, we seek to help this country heal its oldest, most painful wound.
The Descendants Truth & Reconciliation Foundation works to be, and to be perceived as, a moral and intellectual leader in the pursuit of truth, racial healing and transformation of hearts and minds in America.
This engagement includes meeting with Descendants in their hometowns and welcoming them to campus, group visits to historical sites, archival and genealogical research, and hosting and attending cultural events. In all our work together, we remain committed to principles for dialogue, partnership, and collaboration, which we proposed as part of a joint letter to members of the Descendant community from Georgetown and the Society of Jesus.
If you are conducting genealogical research, and would like help determining if you are a Descendant of those enslaved by the Maryland Province of the Society of Jesus, you may contact desce...@georgetown.edu. Please visit Historical and Genealogy Resources for more information.
Any program (undergraduate and beyond) that currently considers whether an applicant is a member of the Georgetown community as a factor in admissions will give that same consideration to Descendants of persons enslaved by the Maryland Province of Jesuits.
We ask each prospective student who is a Descendant, or who believes they may be a Descendant, to gather as much genealogical information as they have that may directly connect their family to those enslaved by the Maryland Province of Jesuits. We share this information confidentially with colleagues who can cross-reference it with relevant archival documents.
When you are ready, please send an email to desce...@georgetown.edu describing as much genealogical information as you have that may directly connect your family to those enslaved by the Maryland Province of Jesuits. Please also indicate which program you are interested in.
Over the course of recent months, members of the Georgetown and Jesuit communities have been honored to meet many of you and to begin conversations about a journey of reconciliation for our communities.
We write today to share a proposed way forward for a long-term partnership between our communities and to seek your assistance in engaging additional Descendants as we work to create opportunities for engagement on these ideas.
My Georgetown and Jesuit colleagues and I are grateful for the opportunities that we have had to be together and that we will have in the future as our work continues. Our time with you has deepened our understanding of the profound and personal meaning of the legacy of slavery and how, in dialogue, partnership, and collaboration, we might grapple with the manifestations of this terrible legacy in our time.
On April 18th, 2017, our communities came together for a Liturgy of Remembrance, Contrition and Hope and the dedication of two buildings: one named in honor of Isaac Hawkins and the other for Anne Marie Becraft. In this setting, we had the opportunity to offer a public apology for the roles that Georgetown and the Jesuits played in the evil of slavery.
Our conversations have reinforced the importance of building a strong and lasting framework for dialogue, partnership, and collaboration among the Descendants, Georgetown, and the Jesuits. We believe that developing this framework from a set of guiding principles can enable us to work together on important ideas over the long-term. Our histories are inextricably linked and, in that spirit, we seek ways to move forward together.
With a sense of humility and gratitude, guided by the many conversations we have had with Descendants, we wish to propose a draft set of principles for your consideration and to hear from you your ideas and reflections. We believe seeking engagement and consensus around a set of principles can help us move forward in developing a partnership and determining the most meaningful and significant ideas for our communities to pursue together. We look forward to your feedback and your ideas. It is our hope that, as you reflect on these principles, you will also share them with additional members of the Descendant community.
We encourage you to visit our website, call us at (202)-687-8330, or email us at desce...@georgetown.edu if you are interested in learning more or sharing your ideas and reflections. On our website, you are also able to sign up to receive news and information.
This is an important year for our nation and for our communities. We mark the 50th anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., whose legacy we celebrate on his national holiday this coming week. In June, we mark 180 years since the 1838 sale of 272 enslaved children, women, and men, and the journey that forced them south to Louisiana. We proceed humbly in their memory.
We seek to identify, in dialogue and conversation with the Descendant community, a set of principles that can guide our work together in building a long-term and ongoing framework for dialogue, partnership, and collaboration that can advance shared initiatives focused on racial justice.
Members of the public may visit the Booth Family Center for Special Collections at the Georgetown Library to conduct archival research. Please visit their website for information on materials and access.
On November 28th the first of several episodes of a new short series entitled Descendant Cookout premiered on social media platforms. This series (curated by Participant group) is hosted by Stephen Satterfield (Host of High on the Hog) and explores the connections between food, community, and social justice in a conversation with some of the participants of the documentary Descendant and community stakeholders.
The Africatown Community, located in Mobile, Alabama, is best known for its connection to the U.S. slave ship Clotilda. This community was established by the very same Africans that were enslaved and brought to the U.S. illegally aboard the Clotilda in 1860.
The Mobile County Training School Alumni Association, a non-profit, tax-exempt, 501(c)(3) organization, is dedicated to protecting, preserving, and promoting the history and achievements of the MCTS family, and its descendants, by documenting and recording, for posterity, the accomplishments and experiences of its family by awarding scholarships and publishing the Alumni experience to encourage others.
Since the early 2000s, the Montpelier Descendant community has grown into a large stakeholder group of people who are interested in, and feel connected to, African American history at Montpelier, regardless of personal ancestry. For many African American families, documentary evidence prior to the 1870 census is scarce or non-existent, making it challenging to trace connections between enslaved people and their descendants. Additionally, the world of enslaved people did not conform to the boundaries of white-owned plantations, since family members often lived, both in slavery and freedom, on neighboring estates or even further afield.
White slave holders rarely recognized or recorded African American surnames. Years of work by Montpelier researchers have identified by name nearly 300 individuals enslaved by four generations of Madisons, including thirteen with surnames: Adams, Bolen, Gardener, Gilmore, Freeman, Jennings, McDaniel, Payne, Shepherd, Stewart, Taliaferro, Taylor, and Walker. Many more are yet to be uncovered. Since 2000, Montpelier has undertaken focused genealogical research that aims to connect the named enslaved individuals from the historical record to present-day descendants and their family histories, both oral and documentary.
